History...
KAREN f Danish, English Danish form of KATHERINE f English From the Greek name
Aikaterine. The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name
Hekaterine, which came from hekateros "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess
HECATE; it could be related to Greek aikia "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans falsely derived it from Greek katharos "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.

Personality...
My first name of KAREN gives me... the desire for responsibility and takes me into practical pursuits. I
would excel in work of a technical nature where concentration and
attention to detail are important. Whatever I'm undertake, I'll have the
patience and determination to do well. I feel a sense of security in
positions of responsibility where progress is made through systematic,
step-by-step procedures. However, my lack vision and I could become too
involved in technical details, system, and routine. I do not readily
adjust to changes in my routine. I'll find it difficult to be
spontaneous and fluent in verbal expression, and are prone to make
rather direct comments that are not accepted in the way I intend them.
Home and children are important to me, and I'm desire a settled
environment. There is a tendency to assume more than my share of duties,
and others could impose on my good nature, thus over-burdening me with
responsibilities that could cause me to worry. A fondness for heavy,
rich foods could, through overeating, cause I've to suffer through
intestinal and digestive troubles.
